Hello dear
I understand your concern
Lo Loestrin is low dose birth control pill.
It is safe and highly effective in preventing the pregnancy.
It has just failure rate of 0.5-1% after regular use.
Use it regularly on specific time every day (at bed time) and make it habit by putting reminder in the mobile.
No need to use condom if you are regular on Lo Loestrin pill
Avoid stress, take healthy diet, do regular exercise, drink plenty of water
Hope this may help you
